Promises, promises!

OK. I know I said I'd be posting at least 3 times a week. It's been almost a month! But...there are excuses... I spent 10-14 hours a day for a week preparing for and staffing a cactus society sale at the Spring Home and Garden Show. Then, a couple of days later I spent a couple of days at the resort hotel known as Providence-Portland Hospital with a minor heart attack. (Minor or not, it slowed me down a bit.)

But, that's past, and things are back to normal -- which means "hectic"!

So, back to those promises. I will really, really, really try to live up to them this time. Really!

Welcome!

The Oregon Cactus Blog is a place to display images of and converse about cacti, other succulent plants, and related subjects - along with a few other matters which may interest the owners of Kara Nursery (AKA Oregon Cactus & Succulent Nursery). Enjoy!

About Us

I was born in 1940 and grew up in the St. Johns neighborhood of Portland, Oregon, graduating with a major in Philosophy from Lewis & Clark College and from Drew University with a Masters in Sacred Theology degree. I married Lynn-Marie Holmes (now Lynn-Marie Kara) and we are going strong after 47 years. Along the way we raised Belgian Tervuren dogs and developed an interest in cacti and other succulent plants. Lynn-Marie became a very talented artist, mostly self taught. I am now retired and living in the University Park neighborhood of Portland.
